De La Salle Spartans' Open Program OL Drill: Building Power and Control
📍 De La Salle Spartans·Sunday, July 26, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
This summer, De La Salle Spartans' OL coach is emphasizing a drill that targets power generation and control. The 'Med Ball Toss' drill involves 3 sets of 10 reps, with a 20-pound med ball. Players start in a 3-point stance, then explosively toss the med ball up and catch it, mimicking a quarterback's release. Coaching cues include: 'Explode up, don't just lift' and 'Catch with your eyes, not your hands.' This drill translates to game performance by improving OL's ability to generate power and control in pass protection and run blocking. It also enhances their hand-eye coordination and reaction time. By incorporating this drill into their open program, OL players can develop the skills needed to dominate on the field this fall.
